the course i am doing is very interesting i have a range of options to pick for my modules. also, the staff/lecturers here are very helpful and always supportive. i think the only problem with UEL is their appearance, when a new student looks at their stratford building it would put them off as it doesnt look too attractive. although the docklands campus is beautiful on this field. i believe UEL offers a range of job offers for us which is good especially in this economic state.

Leeds is an excellent place to be for your degree. For people moving away from home the accommodation is brilliant and very affordable. Don't worry about making new friends, you make so many really quickly. The city is vibrant and offers everything you need. The university itself offers lots of clubs and societies to choose from. Before coming make sure you research the course well, 'big' up yourself on and off paper for the application. If you know the course well you'll love it.

Get involved in societies and life at uni from the beginning, you will get out what you put in! Don't worry if you don't like it straight away. It can sometimes take a while to adjust to a new environment! Be positive about your course and that will shine through in your application.

The university has a great student union. It has lots of good nights there and sometimes famous people play there. It also has a great range of clubs and societies, so be sure to get involved! Advice for getting into uni would be to do lots of extracurricular activities so you can talk about it in an interview and to try and make you stand out more. Also work really hard to get good AS grades because it makes a difference!

The health sciences library is really good for those who do a science course. Its really big and has tons of different choices for books you need. I particularly like the individual study areas and the choice of desk spaces makes it comfortable to work in. Before applying to the university do lots of extracurricular activities so you have interesting things to speak about in an interview.

The dentistry course here is overall good so I would give it a 5, but I don't really enjoy the lectures that much. The clinical aspect of this course is interesting. If I had to give advice to anyone applying for this course I would say try and do something different like volunteering or working somewhere related to the course. Work hard because it is worth getting in.

The thing I like most about this uni is they have good student support and I always feel like I get a lot of help with my course. Medicine is difficult but I was told where I could seek help right from day one. There was lots of competition to get a place here, so try and make your personal statement stand out.

Take care when picking your accommodation, make sure you read everything properly and throughly so you make the right decision. I am at Liberty Dock and it's awful. It's far from uni so I have to bus to campus, unlike all my friends who just walk. A plus point of this uni is the bacon deal in the Worsley building cafe is absolutely spot on. Work hard to get a place here.

I think the course that I do (medicine) and the uni is worth coming to. I live at Liberty Dock, its alright, but quite far out. I'd prefer to live somewhere closer. The bathroom isn't very nice in this accommodation. To get a place here work really hard for your A levels, put effort into the application and remember its the climb.

This a really social uni, I have met lots of nice people here and made great friends. If you like having a busy social life this is the uni for you. I would rate the eye candy 5+ if I was allowed to, as there are lots of cute boys! Try not to be nervous for interview, be calm and confident, and try not to worry because they were great people!
